Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and slice the tomatoes into thick rounds.
- Rinse the spinach well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- Reserve a small amount of the bacon fat in the skillet for cooking the tomatoes.
- In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the sliced tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the tomatoes over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they start to soften and caramelize. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Fill a medium saucepan with water, about 2-3 inches deep, and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the teaspoon of vinegar to the simmering water.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the water using a spoon, and carefully slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool one at a time.
- Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs and set them on a paper towel to drain.
- In the skillet used for the tomatoes, add the washed spinach.
- Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is just wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Divide the wilted spinach between two plates.
- Arrange the sautéed tomatoes over the spinach.
- Crumble the cooked bacon over the tomatoes.
- Top each plate with two poached eggs.
- Season the eggs with a bit of salt and pepper if desired.
- Enjoy your Bacon and Tomatoes with Poached Eggs hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Make sure the water for poaching eggs is at a gentle simmer to prevent the eggs from breaking apart.
- You can use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite cheese on top of the spinach before serving.
- If you prefer your bacon crispy, cook it a bit longer until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
By following these steps, you can create a delicious and nutritious breakfast with bacon, tomatoes, spinach, and poached eggs. The combination of these ingredients provides a balance of flavors and textures that will start your day off right. Enjoy your meal!
